Re: All My CDs Marked down to $5.00



I sure am. I have all of the CDs going through all of the digital distribution as well.
 
All in all, I don't really do this for the money, yet I have waffled back and forth on this notion of whether I should give my CDs away, sell them for standard market price, or severely discounted. It is a tough call, and pretty much based on one's personal values on the matter....BUT, for me, the gist is that I never want to generate a situation as an artist when someone can't own one of my CDs simply because they can't afford it, or because they have too many other CDs on their list and mine isn't the the highest priority.  I'd rather give my CDs away or mark them down to CD Baby's cost, then not have folks listening to my music.  And, believe it or not, I am of the generation who still enjoys owning and having a physical CD. When I produce a CD, the artwork on the sleeves is just as much a part of the production as the music. It all fits together into a theme. I like for people to have my physical CDs, not just the MP3s and digital art. If they don't they are missing a significant element of the production.

Kris,

Are you doing digital distribution through CD Baby as well.  I've found that I'm not really selling physical CDs anymore.  But my download sales are strong.  Just wondering if this is the norm now.

Hello all,

I just made a major change to my CD sales approach.  From now on I am selling all of my CDs for $5.00 USD. This is marked down from $13.00.  You can view all five of them on CD Baby here:


I will also be selling them in person for $5.00, so if you happen to be at Y2K6, check out my stuff at the concessions table.

Cheers,
